All these AMD fanboys. If you guys actually knew anything you'd know that in the corporate environment PCs only come with P4s or Celerons, and servers come with Xeons. Period. Intel CPUs on Intel chipsets remain usable longer, and despite benchmarking lower are often much nicer to use. A P2-400 mach...

If the case is anything like the BTX Dimension 5000, then hard-drive temperature is a major concern. I'd imagine the case is identical apart from the facia. I had a Dimension 5000 in the workshop for a few days being upgraded before going out to site. I put in an additional 160Gb Seagate 7200.7 to g...

The main problem with your Dell is probably the motor noise from the Nidec or JMC 92mm fan. It might be worth putting in a Panaflo or Vantec instead. You will have to modify the connector on the fan to fit the Dell fan connector. I've fixed a few Dimension 4600 with dud fans using a Vantec Stealth 9...

WD drives aren't known for their low noise either. I don't agree with that in any way. The rest of the points you raised are accurate though, the Precision 370 isn't a wonderfully quiet machine. The PSU fan does run quite fast, as it's a 300W rated supply, and the JMC 92mm fans they use for the CPU...

I have 3 160Gb PATA 7200.7 drives in a RAID 5 array in my server which resides in the attic. The first 3 I had were quiet - almost Barracuda IV quiet. One 7200.7 failed after the electric went off (blame the shorted heater in the washing machine), and the replacement drive is quite noisy. It exhibit...

Put it like this, I've several Panaflo 80mm fans running more or less 24/7 since 1990. 15 years of constant use, and they're still going. Good choice Commodore, because those yellow label Panaflos are still going strong in a serius number of "big box" Amigas. I personally also use a more modern grey...

I swapped my SL350SP with a Cheiftec badged 360W. The supply looks very similar to the type used by Enlight etc. The Chieftec is considerably quieter and has a stronger 12v rating than the SL350SP, even with the stock SuperRed fan. My 3700BQE has the Chieftec supply, a 120mm L1A@7v and 80mm L1A@12v ...
